If you have got an interview to be an adult nurse then you will have completed your nursing training and gained enough practical experience to be able to operate as a nurse.
As well as having the practical nursing skills you will also need to have excellent communication skills and a kind nature to be able to provide kindness and compassion to some sick patients and to be able to console their relatives and deal with visitors etc.
Before your interview, analyse your skills and qualifications and match this closely with the job description or job advert to ensure that you are ready for the challenge and that you feel confident with the skills that you already have. Your interviewer will be looking to ensure that you have the correct skills.
